Eddie Arnold announced plans Monday for a ``state-of-the-art`` bowling center west of Delray Beach scheduled to open in July 1988.
Arnold, owner and operator of Eddie Arnold`s Delray Beach Bowl, said five acres have been purchased for the center that will replace the current bowling center located at 325 SE First Ave. in Delray Beach. The proposed site is across West Atlantic Avenue from the Florida`s Turnpike Delray Beach toll plaza and is expected to cost $3 million, according to Arnold.
``The location is probably Numero Uno in South Florida,`` Arnold said.
Arnold, who has been the proprietor at Delray Beach Bowl for 1/2 years, said the exact plans for the center haven`t been completed but promised it will ``probably be more than state-of-the-art.``
``This is not going to be a typical bowling center,`` he said. ``It`s going to be exciting.``
Arnold isn`t hesitating to drum up business for the new center. ``We are signing contracts for the 1988 season,`` he said.
-- Getting past the first roll in the 10th frame was as good as perfect for H. Carl Wick III on Monday.
Wick, a 20-year bowler, has rolled nine consecutive strikes four times and finished at 279 each time, but has never reached the elusive 300.
Until Monday at Don Carter`s All Star Lanes in Boca Raton.
``When I got the 10th one, that was when I felt I had a chance,`` Wick said. The 12 strikes in his second game were part of a 19-strike string that began in the 10th frame of his first game and ended four frames into his third game.
``I was just absolutely consistent,`` Wick said. ``The only one I pulled was the second ball in the third game. I snapped it and it went Brooklyn.``

I think the complaints about new tech products is just a matter of two things being informed and understanding the complexity of developing high-tech hardware products.
If you think you are buying a product when you give away money on kickstarter of Indiegogo you are sadly mistaken. What you are doing is supporting a the idea of a product that is yet to be developed by people who very often have little experience in developing hardware and are small customers so they often get shafted by manufacturers in china. Any hardware idea is a high risk proposition. By far most are not scam artists, but they are subject to conditions they do not control. Secondly you have to understand the platform. IGG will not do anything to support you in claims. They do not care and allow actual scam artists onto their platform over and over again. The onerous is on you to research your support properly.
I love the idea of kickstarter, but I think most people who commits money there believe they are buying a product. They are not.

More Armstrong Allegations
A former teammate of Lance Armstrong has backed up allegations that Lance Armstrong took part in and encourage teammates to dope. The informant has spoken to the Federal prosecutor.
The cyclist has given detail into the widespread use of doping agent by members of Armstrong's United States Postal Service team.
In May and during the Tour de France, ex-Armstrong teammate and admitted doper Floyd Landis claimed Armstrong and other team members used blood transfusions and performance-enhancing drugs. He claimed Armstrong encouraged doping and that the team sold racing bicycles to fund those activities.
Now prosecutors have two sources with knowledge of Armstrong's alleged doping allegations. The validity of these allegation could destroy Armstrong's legacy in the sport of Cycling.

Why is it called the body pillow?
Some say it is because the pillow is similar to the size of a human body, others' say because you can wrap your whole body around this rather large pillow. For us, it doesn't matter, this pillow is amazing either way.
With the extraordinarily plush Kapok fill, this body pillow is even more huggable and perfect for those nights when you just want to relax your body around something soft and delicate.

Space Syntax adds value to projects in three key ways:
1. Revealing unseen opportunities and creating better ideas
This is the key strength of the Space Syntax approach. Our reputation is based on a highly creative use of technology to identify the essential design features of urban and building design projects. These are typically aspects of the location, linkages, layout, land use and landscaping of a project that influence human activity and, in doing so, drive the social, economic and environmental performance of places.
The first step towards the identification of new opportunities is in the 'diagnosis' of existing situations through Baseline Studies, which identify opportunities and inspire design ideas for capitalising on them.
2. Measuring and improving the likelihood of success
The Space Syntax approach is built on a set of evidence-based methods that forecast whether proposed policies, strategies, plans, and designs will work to create the social, economic and environmental benefits that they are expected to. We give stakeholders and decision-makers reassurance when a design is developing in a favourable way, or we alert them when it is in danger of going off track and they need to act. In the latter case, our approach helps to reduce or mitigate the risk of functional failure. In every case, the Space Syntax approach aims to boost 'returns' of many sorts: land value, rental income from, for example, enhanced footfall in retail areas, safety in streets and buildings, increased interaction between people in buildings.
3. Facilitating communication on project teams and with stakeholders
Our methods allow us to speak a common, 'spatial' language that bridges across disciplinary boundaries and translates the objectives of planners, designers, transport engineers, economists, developers, investors and members of the public in such a way that they can be understood by all and organised into meaningful, practical frameworks for action.
"Space Syntax's analysis and design contribution helped unlock the scheme. The evidence they presented proved critical in promoting our design and convincing people that it would work."

Following a recent investment agency pitch, asset and property management company FI Real Estate Management (FIREM) has announced its appointment of BNP Paribas Real Estate to market the investment of three buildings, totalling 246,000 sq ft, occupied by Microsoft on the Thames Valley Park in Reading.
BNP Paribas Real Estate will now put together a marketing campaign to engage with UK and international investors which will augment the keen market interest already received over the past year since FIREM were appointed asset and property managers on the Mapeley BETA portfolio by special servicer Solutus Advisors.
Commenting on the appointment, FIREM's Asset Manager on the Reading properties, James Raspin, said that the choice had been a difficult one: "This is the most sought after asset in the BETA portfolio as it provides long term income from a world leading brand at one of the premier business parks in the UK. It is also a great opportunity to acquire what the press has recently styled as 'the South East's top asset outside London'. All the major agents involved recognised that significance and the pitch was hotly contested.
"However, we know that BNP Paribas Real Estate with its global network of offices and spread of investor contacts, together with its strategy for the disposal of this key asset, is the best choice for this particular property, and we look forward to working with them towards its eventual sale which is likely to be early in 2014."
Hugh White, Head of National Investment at BNP Paribas Real Estate, said: "We are delighted to have been instructed to market this prestigious office instruction. Global interest in UK real estate has continued to increase during the course of this year and as the weight of both UK and overseas money pushes Central London yields down attention has now focused on well let, well specified assets in the wider South East. The combination of this tenant which is the third biggest global brand, the attractive unexpired lease term and the established nature of this location means that the property will provide a compelling proposition to investors seeking income producing real estate assets."

I love my Fitbit. Admittedly, this is at least a little bit in part because I can challenge my siblings in competitions and earn "trophies" for my efforts, but that's not my only reason. I'm also interested in the data. As a lifelong athlete, I love the information it collects about my sleep cycles, physical activity and heart rate. All of these capabilities offer insights about what's going on with my body. It's widely known that consumer health data is on the rise, largely as a result of the adoption of "wearables" like the Fitbit. Today, approximately one in four Americans owns a wearable device,[1] and unsurprisingly, Millennials are leading the charge with a near 50 percent adoption rate.[2] A recent STAT News article highlighted the impact chronic diseases have on the US healthcare system and the role wearables can play in the industry. Wearable technology presents an opportunity to potentially curb healthcare spending by positively influencing user decisions and encouraging adoption of healthy behaviors. Within the pharmaceutical industry, some companies have even begun utilizing wearables as a way to support patients' interactions with their doctor and help them better manage their health by providing more accurate, real-time data. However,Continue Reading

Here's the latest update on Soft Focus, the forthcoming drama by Rod Gailes OBC, winner of the 2nd Shadow & Act Filmmaker Challenge. The film is currently in post production, inching steadily toward a release on this site, which will be accompanied by a motion picture soundtrack release as well.
Here's the official synopsis of the film:
"Clean heart, clean mind, clean deed." Marcus is a young man with a choice to make: continue with the curious boyhood obligations imposed by his religiously zealous mother or step into a colorful world of adult choices and consequences. Partnered with his good friend Niecy, he chooses the latter, diving headlong into a night of carnal adventure complete with balloons, birthday cake, and Kunta, another young traveler on the road to self discovery. Can Marcus untie the ritual apron strings of a repressed home life to pursue his own version of manhood? Jehovah only knows.
Find photos from the film below. And to follow the production's progress, visit their site on Tumblr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. advanced racial equality, elimination of poverty, and reversal of a militaristic state through nonviolent civil disobedience. This moral means towards moral ends requires us to realize our intimate interrelatedness, and to love each human being regardless of our physical appearance, the institutions of which we are a part, what someone believes, how we behave, or any other attribute which propagates an "us" versus "them." How can you love the person when you hate the deed? In honor of this persistent and urgent philosophy, here are King's own words on the issue from a 1963 speech at the Western Michigan University. Consider the political and sociological intentions, as well as the possible personal and clinical applications, of this call to action.
"The world in which we live is geographically one. Now we are challenged to make it one in terms of brotherhood… All life is interrelated, somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality."
"Criminal responses and other things like this are environmental and not racial. Economic deprivation, social isolation, ignorance, and poverty breed crime, whatever the racial group may be, and it is a tortuous logic to use the tragic results of segregation as an argument for the continuation of it."
"Nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice… It give the individual a method of struggling for moral ends through moral means… For there is another thing about this philosophy that says you can stand before an unjust system and resist it with all your might and yet maintain an attitude of active good will toward the perpetrators of that unjust system. So it goes on to say that the ethic of love can stand at the center of the nonviolent movement. Now when I talk about love at this point, people always have questions to raise… The Greek language comes out with the word, "agape." Agape is more than romantic or aesthetic love. Agape is more than friendship. Agape is creative, understanding, redemptive good will for all men. It is an overflowing love that seeks nothing in return. Theologians would say that this is the love of God operating in the human heart. When one rises to love on this level, he loves every man. He rises to the point of loving the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does. I believe that this is the kind of love that can carry us through this period of transition. This is what we've tried to teach through this nonviolent discipline."
"So in many instances, we have been able to stand before the most violent opponents and say in substance, we will meet your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you. We cannot in all good conscience obey your unjust laws because non‐cooperation with evil is just as much moral obligation as is cooperation with good, and so throw us in jail and we will still love you. Threaten our children and bomb our homes and our churches and as difficult as it is, we will still love you… Be assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves, we will so appeal to your heart and your conscience that we will win you in the process and our victory will be a double victory. This is a nonviolent message."
Thank you Karen Steinberg for posting the full transcript of King's speech through the The Possibility Practice.

RZA Sets Up Next Two Directing Projects, Including a Genghis Khan Biopic
C.R.E.A.M = Cinema Rules Everything Around Me.
In advance of his directing debut, The Man With the Iron Fists, which premieres this Friday, the Tang Clansman has already found his next two projects. Likely first will be No Man's Land, a movie about a man who steals a valuable diamond from a criminal. The higher-profile project will be the John Milius–penned epic Genghis Khan. The film, which will shoot in China next year, tells the story of the powerful and vicious ruler of one of the largest empires ever, who famously informed his warriors to "protect ya neck."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'CycloDS' started by Urziel, Mar 23, 2008.
I have decided I am buying a CycloDS... which SD is the best for cyclo?
thanks in advance guys!
The micro one
Just kidding, I'm just playing.
Any card will suffice really, however if you get a MicroSDHC card, you'll have faster read and write speeds than standard MicroSD... Any one will do, really. I myself have a Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC card.
Depends on what you want. The 8GB and upcoming 12GB are massive, but you might not need that much unless you use your DS as a MP3 player/Video player/Photo viewer.
well I think I am going for 2x2Gb ones but I am also thinking of later on buying a bigger one since I want movies and books and photos and mp3s the whole deal!
now the only problem seems to be which company should I trust more? some say Kingstons are nice, whats your opinion?
Get a Kingston Japan made. I have it 100% no problems (Some people say A-Data but some people also have trouble with the enhanced menu using A-Data cards)
And I was thinking of trying to find a place in Europe that sells A-data, well I guess it'll be a Kingston then.
I use a Kingston 2 gig w/ my Cyclo, and it seems to give faster speeds than my Sandisc.
I'd say get at least a 4 gig to start.
Can anyone reccomend a UK shipping site for a card?
I never even looked there as I assumed it would be expensive for them.
Amazon sells really cheap
I got my 8 gig Sandisk sdhc from Amazon with Micro Reader for $60 shipped. Works great.
what's the performance with the Sandisk? Is it considerably slower/more hassle than Kingston/A-data. It's just I've found this http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/3359...html?P36=7UQ2XH or is it worth spending the extra £8 on a A-data.
yo yo !!! two more questions: first off, any places in UK with cheap SDs and transportation costs? Amazon charges £5 ffs for a thing that costs only £1.40... I mean wtf??? :/ secong, anyone knows how to tell which Kingston is made in japan and which is not???
Thanks guys!

Logical Increments releases a guide for building a VR-ready PC, rescuing legions of VR gamers from mass confusion, disappointment, and sub-par VR experiences.
As we approach the Q1 2016 release dates for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, many PC gamers are wondering how to best prepare their computer for VR gaming, while others are planning new builds from the ground up with VR in mind. We would know: Every year, more than a million visitors come to our website looking to build the best PC for their budget, and an increasing number of them ask us about VR headsets.
We run Logical Increments, the PC Building Guide, and we just published a Guide to Building a PC for Virtual Reality.
Our goal with this guide is twofold:
1. Help as many people as possible prepare their PCs for gaming on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Simply put: The VR community and industry wins when we ensure more high-quality VR experiences.
2. Establish the true, hard facts about the graphical demands of these headsets. Rendering graphics on a VR headset is a highly intensive process compared to traditional rendering on a monitor or TV. Many gamers want to understand this difference, but few sources have explained it both thoroughly and in plain English.
To guarantee our guide is both comprehensive and factually air-tight, we've sought extensive feedback from the Oculus VR development community through multiple drafts.
In our opinion, Oculus and HTC aren't doing enough to prepare PC builders for an optimal VR experience. Aside from publishing recommended specs, the companies have left a lot of room for misinterpretation when it comes to the hardware demands of these headsets. Our guide lays out detailed build advice in an easy-to-understand format.
"Oculus has provided recommended specs for gaming on the Rift, but many people mistakenly assume that those recommended specs will deliver a high-quality experience playing any game in VR," said Orion Bukantis, CEO of Logical Increments. "Unfortunately, if you think you can build a PC with the Oculus recommended specs and then boot up Fallout 4 in VR at high settings, you're setting yourself up for disappointment."

I've been receiving a lot of "social love" lately. It's proven two things to me:
- Being active in social works on so many levels. Not only does it get your name/identity out there but, more importantly, it lets people know that you know what you're doing, you care about what they're doing and you are there for the right reasons.
- My activity in social is not for nothing. If I feel this way, then certainly, I'm having an effect on those I "social" with, right? Right.
That said, we don't have a ton of time to spend on this "social" activity. There's work to do! Paying client projects to maintain! But, if you're spending any time at all – I don't care if it's 5 minutes a week… if that time is spent just tweeting links to your products/blog/services or posting content and photos about you, you, you… well, you're wasting your time.
To be successfully active in social requires you to be… hang on. This sentence has become so cliche that I will not put you through the pain of hearing – yet again – how social is supposed to be social. Let's do us both a favor and move on….
Whether you have 2 minutes or 20, there are things you can do to get the best bang for your time.
So let's break it down.
0-5 minutes:
1. "Favorite" tweets. Not only does this work to tag tweets you want to come back to read later (when you have more time), but it also lets the tweeter know you like what they have to, er… tweet. What you should not do is simply "favorite" every tweet you like. Most of these come with a link to an article or blog post, so clicking "favorite" assumes you've read and enjoyed the blog. It's okay sometimes, it's not okay all the time.
2. Retweet – When you hit the retweet button, you're given two choices: 1) retweet as is or 2) you can copy the tweet and then hit "cancel" so that you can paste it into your own message. In this case, just hit "retweet." Done. More on the latter, later.
3. Like/Love – on both Facebook and LinkedIn, choose the "like" or "thumbs up" button to show that you enjoyed a post, or link to an article. On Pinterest, just tap the heart. It's that simple.
4. Share (Facebook, LinkedIn) – no time for a comment? That's okay. Just share it. It's the minimum, but it's better than nothing.
6 – 10 minutes:
Okay, so you're not racing through, but you don't have a whole lot of dawdle time either. These social steps will still put you in good graces, show you care, and keep you involved. In addition to the five listed above, you've got a few minutes for these:
1. RT… with a comment. Remember those Retweet options I talked about earlier? Here's where you'll choose option two… Click the "retweet" button, then copy the message, cancel the retweet and return to your own twitter profile. Paste the tweet into your own new message and add a comment and RT tag. (i.e. "Worth your time! RT @a1972bmw …"). Why? Because your followers want to know why you've chosen to share the tweet/link/post with them.
2. Share and Comment – On Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest you can add a quick comment about why you're sharing (i.e. "Intelligent list – Especially love #2!"). This will work to engage others who see your post, and show that you are involved. Be specific… it makes a difference!
11+ minutes: Lucky you! To all the tips above, add some social meat, in the form of these two:
1. Comment! This is really what all bloggers are looking for -not only to show that their articles are being read and shared, but to engage readers. Those comments also become a great resource for future blog post ideas. I have been tracking links to my own blogs since 2009, and I can tell you with the utmost confidence that nothing works harder to send traffic then commenting on other professional's blogs. Honest. When you've read a particularly smart post, and want to leave a comment, Kenna Griffin (@profkrg) has written a great post you'll want to check out: 6 Tips for Deeper Blog Commenting.
2. Thank Your Social Rockstars. Really this doesn't take long at all if you stay on top of it, but even if you fall a bit behind, it's incredibly important to pay your dues to the rockstars who are helping you reach more people, garner more followers and drive more traffic to your blog and/or website. Do not forget the faithful! Give a shout out (S/O) to: the fine folks who ReTweet, Favorite, Mention and/or Follow you. After all, that's just good manners.
Please tell me… what do you think of this list? Anything you'd add? How much time do you spend daily on social media?

Memmo Baleeira ( #journeysontheroad)
I've been planning for some time a kind of tour - we are, for now, a small band of two - around Portugal (and hopefully outside of it too) show you guys the places we visit.
I'm all about sharing when it comes to creativity. I strongly believe that sharing knowledge is liberating.
There's this thing about keeping everything in secret about photography as a craft that I just don't get it, some people seem scared of being copied or being left behind. Let's face it, someone somewhere will like your work and probably try to reproduce your vision, personally I try to take it as a compliment... I've always shared the studios i work with, my favorite type of film, my lighting tips, my cameras, my beloved magazines, my favorite artists... somehow it make me feel free to just be myself and evolve as an artist...anywayyyyyyyy, back to the beautiful places!!
We do travel a bit, not as much as I would like but, either for pleasure or in business we're lucky enough to stay at cool places. Its a shame to keep some of that places to ourselves, so I've decided to use Journeys as a platform to show you our favourites spots (if I'm being totally honest Gui is fine with a clean bed and healthy food).
All that said,We decided to start at Sagres, south Portugal.Putting it simple, you can't go to Sagres and not stay at Memmo Baleeiro, it's the best spot in town. The owner is an art collector and has an amazing Vhils piece (clap clap) it's really nice to enjoy some of his art through out the hotel, my favorite part was the restaurant. I absolute loved the restaurante, the decor, the people who work there, and the food.
The Chef, knowing the dietary restrictions of Gui, prepared him a special sauce 100% lactose free and the pizza - and I think I can say I have a Master degree in Pizza - was amazing!
I'll leave the rest for you to discover for yourself.

The first part of this review looks at the physical aspects of the X100. Here, I take a look at the pictures captured with the camera, and there's a bit more discussion on how I found it to use.
Firstly, I'll say again that the quality of the images captured from this camera are superb. I've not used a micro four thirds camera, but I understand that you have to be a bit careful above about ISO800. With this camera, I'd be happy using it at ISO3200 when it needed to without any worries.
So, image quality is brilliant. Job's a good 'un, right? Well, not quite…
This post has lots of images in and is split into a few sections:
The first set of photos on here are shot with the X100 (in RAW+Fine JPEG mode), but I processed the RAWs as I would my DSLR files. Initially, my focus was on seeing whether I could use the results in the same way as I use my DSLR images, so I went straight into processing images that looked like they had potential. So they are not straight out of camera, they have had varying amount of processing.
I was starting to get the hang of the controls – there's a lot of them and in all sorts of places, but I'm a technical sort of chap and I'm happy to spend a week or two letting a complex set of controls become natural. And I'm also more than happy to admit that in the first few hours I'm not going to be as adept as using the camera as someone with a lot more experience. So in my quest to decide whether I want an X100, a complex set of controls cannot be seen as a down-side.
And anyway, they're not that complex…
From these shots, you can see that you can get decent shots. At least I'm happy with them! The shot above was deliberately focussed on Timmeh the Cat (mainly 'cause I couldn't quickly remember how to adjust the AF point, and on a DLSR I almost never shoot with the centre AF point so it was off to the left in the shot above).
Here's one that shows a bit of a problem for me. I've learnt an awful lot from shooting my kids – partly how to capture fast moving people without interrupting the flow of action. I have my ways of doing it – a bit of camera setup, a bit of camera technology to help me out and a bit of prediction and situation manipulation to guide them into the right places. Here, my youngest was pulling funny faces and giggling lots… a shot I could have easily caught with a DSLR, but with the X100 I missed it due to the AF hunting around. By the time the camera fired, he had fallen half out the frame (and moved forward a bit, so he was out of the focussed position anyway):
One issue I notice with this camera is that to focus less than about 1m, you need to use the macro mode (Graham had warned me about this). Whilst this is not a massive problem (it's a couple of button presses to change the mode), when the camera focusses in macro mode you do not get a live view of the focus – the image just locks on the view you had before you pressed the button. If you're trying to capture a child moving fast in front of you, after the 0.5-1sec or so it takes to focus, when you're presented with the live view image again it's all changed! In reality, showing the image wouldn't make a lot of difference as you can't really chase a moving target when doing contrast detect AF as it just isn't fast enough.
How to get around this…? Pose him against the wall and get him to say silly words
– and it's more or less fine. A point to note – I shot most of these pictures at f/2, partly because it is the most difficult aperture for AF on this camera, and partly because I love shallow DoF shots.
So you can take shots of kids, but you might have to pose them or catch them when they're pretty much stationary. For me, this is an absolute killer. I'm convinced that with a few weeks of ownership of an X100 I could get significantly better at focussing and change my shooting style to get a lot more shots I'm happy with, but I just love the ability of a decent DSLR to be able to lock focus in an instant even at ultra shallow DoF's like you get with the aperture at f/1.4.
The shot above shows something else too – the fill flash. It fired for this shot, and you can just see some flash shadow behind his right ear against the wall. The fill flash really is rather good – it fired on lots of the shots I took and several of them you'd be hard pressed to notice there's any flash assistance. The two issues I noticed were (a) that you have to be careful as it's close to the lens, so you can end up with red-eye, and (b) you can't use it with the lens hood. The hood blocks a big chunk of the flash light and rather messes the picture up! You also have to watch out for those flash shadows, but the flash is very close to the axis of the lens so they often do disappear behind the subject.
Incidentally, all the processing I've done on all these photos are using Lightroom 3.4.1 (the latest at the time of writing).
As well as being rather taken by trains, my son is also a gadget freak and has a thing for my Galaxy S2. Again, in this shot below there's a bit of flash shadow but on the whole the lighting of the shot is very pleasant – a mix of natural light and gentle fill:
We finally got out and about so I could take some outdoor shots and see how the camera handles when situations are a bit more static. As I was starting to get more of a feel of the controls now, I was quite enjoying myself. It was really nice to have a lightweight, compact camera to use rather than a big DSLR hanging off my shoulder, and the technology in the X100 made it feel like there were a lot of possibilities for shooting. Out in this sort of light, the AF seemed to lock reliably and generally in a few hundred milliseconds, especially if there wasn't much movement between shots.
Focus seemed accurate to me when it locked – the great thing about using the imaging sensor to perform the AF is that a lock of the AF system will mean that focus is achieved at the image sensor - no worries about front or back focus here! There were a few instances where the lock was obviously on the wrong thing (a bit of background usually), but it was rarer than I was led to believe from other reviews and didn't seem to be any more of a problem than using the phase-detect AF in a DSLR.
Sometimes, it can go a bit awry – the shot below is in aperture priority mode with auto ISO at 1/680s, f/2.0, ISO400 with flash doing a fair amount of the lighting and leading to a strong and ugly flash shadow:
Below, the little chap found a poster of a phone in a mobile phone shop!
And another train… quite heavy processing on this shot (purely because I wanted to!).
In essence, when you capture a shot that's in focus, at the right time and without any dodgy flash because you've left the setting in the wrong place, the files are as versatile as anything from any of my DSLRs.
The last shot I took when out was this one in the car. Ooops – it went a bit wrong here. I'm not quite sure what happened – the strong backlight obviously threw the exposure algorithm, but it's massively underexposed – even the brightest point in the image is dull. (Camera settings: Av: 1/850s, f/2, ISO800):
In order to sort this image out, I had to up the exposure by over 2 stops in Lightroom. Or clicking "Auto" in Lightroom actually gave a nicely balanced image with an exposure increase of +1.2EV and a brightness increase from +50 to +118.
But… I later found a reason for the problem in this shot, which I've explained a bit below.
Higher ISO
Now I wanted to take some shots that pushed the ISO up to see how the images seemed. There were some bottles on the side, so I lined them up and took this shot – it's at ISO1250 (1/30s, f/2.0). It shows some noise but not a considerable amount – I'd say it's pretty much on a par with my 7D. This image is generated from the RAW in Lightroom, but with no change in the default settings, so it hasn't had extra noise reduction applied. The JPEGs from the Fuji (in the default setting) have some noise reduction applied so I would expect them to look a fraction better.
Now on to ISO3200. This is a shot down the street at about 11pm (1/3s, f/2, iso3200). A few things stand out. Firstly, at 1/3s there was no way it was going to be sharp! Second, the white balance does what I would tend to do when processing the image in Lightroom – it balances out the orange from the sodium vapour streetlights (unlike my Canon DSLRs where you end up with a very orange cast to the image). This does have a disadvantage, though: the colour rendition index of a sodium vapour streetlight is very low, which means if you remove the orange cast there are certain colours that will look quite unnatural as they wouldn't have reflected any of the orange from the lights – blue for example. The final image is an attempt to look natural in a very unnatural lighting situation, so in some ways it would be better to leave the orange cast to show the real view. Whatever the case, the whitebalance settings in the X100 would allow you to choose which way you wanted the image captured if you were shooting JPEG.
These next two images show something of an issue with the whitebalance under some fairly difficult circumstances. Both shots were taken a moment apart at 0.5s, f/2 and ISO3200, lit by streetlight. In the first, camera chose a colour temperature of 2450K and a (Lightroom) Tint of -17 (towards green), and I would say it's going in the right direction here:
However, in this second shot – taken immediately after – the camera opted for a temperature of 2400K (pretty similar), but a tint of +43 which is a long way towards magenta:
I'm not quite sure what was going on there. Like I say, it is an incredibly difficult shooting situation for the camera – lighting from a street lamp with a few spectral peaks around orange, and in the dark at ISO3200. I wouldn't consider this a fault of the camera, but it might be something to watch out for in low light.
On a more positive note, the AF performance in the dark was surprisingly good. When I say dark, I mean 1/3s at f/2, iso3200! The shot below was focussed with the AF system and it locked immediately. To be honest, even dark there's some quite high contrast edges so it's a reasonable target to lock on to (I focussed somewhere around the writing), but I'm not sure my 5Dmk2 or 7D would do a good job in this sort of light. The colour balance is a little off, but even so for the shot settings it's not a bad image.
And this was a final ISO3200 shot of my Clavinova with a few tweaks to the whitebalance and clarity in Lightroom, but no extra noise reduction applied. I'd be more than happy with this sort of shot from any camera:
The camera has a macro mode which I have talked about using to capture people when close. It does allow you to get close to subjects, but the minimum focus distance feels very big for a 35mm lens, so in reality it's a "close focus" mode rather than macro. It is important to use this mode under about 1m, so the macro mode would get a lot of use with any kind of close portrait work – but it does have that disadvantage that all EVF/back screen updates stop during focussing in this mode. Having said that, to me true macro is a dedicated subject that requires both forward planning and fairly specialised kit, so I wouldn't assume that the X100 is any kind of replacement in a true macro sense. But you can get some pretty pictures nonetheless:
While I was sorting out all the pictures for this review, I was thinking back to the view of the picture of my son in the car above that came out very dark, and I didn't remember it looking that dark on the viewfinder of the X100. I had a quick fiddle around, and as I was shooting in RAW+JPEG I could compare the JPEGs from the camera. I was pretty surprised by what I saw. The 4 pictures below show a split of the JPEG from the camera, and the RAW image processed in Lightroom 3.4.1 with all the default settings. In all cases, the darker (generally lower) region is the Lightroom output:
While the second picture is very close between the camera and Lightroom, the last picture took over 2 stops of exposure increase in Lightroom to come close to the X100 JPEG!
Now, I can think of a few possible explanations for this situation. The first is that Lightroom might be doing a somewhat strange job of processing X100 images (which I find quite possible). The second is that the X100 takes a guess as the exposure for the shot, exposes as predicted then analyses the RAW image and makes further adjustments in "slow time" to create the JPEG. The latter worries me a bit if it's true, because it means the camera is artificially producing what look like decent exposures, but on careful viewing would show significantly increased noise compared to other shots, and that would make the low light capability of the camera inconsistent. And unreliability is, in my eyes, a complete and utter killer.
Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you again to Graham Fry for loaning me his much loved X100 for a couple of days so I could find out for myself what it's like to have one. It's been a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and also one that has (at least for the moment) saved me a lot of money! You see, I'm not going to get an X100.
Going back to the very beginning, what I was after was a camera that replaced my "big and bulky" DLSR. I put that in quotes, because up to the time when the smaller quality cameras came about (GF1/EP-1/X100 etc), I considered the DSLR weight the price to pay for quality images and didn't think any more about it. So, I was hoping the X100 would be the "out and about" replacement for my DSLR kit, but it just isn't.
I use my DSLRs for family and friend portraits, quite a bit of macro, some weddings, and some sports/aircraft/general shots as well. Currently, if I just want to grab a camera and go out somewhere for general photos, it's my 5Dmk2 and 35 f/1.4L that go. It's not tiny but it's not massive either, and it matches the focal length capabilities of the X100 hence my initial interest.
So, why not an X100? For me, it's all down to the AF.
AF is the biggest issue for me. I'm not knocking the capabilities – I've personally written contrast detect AF routines for automated lens calibration processing software, and I know how much processing is involved. The X100 does a fine job of autofocus with the tools at hand, but there's a reason that phase detect AF is still present in high-end cameras – it uses dedicated sensors and processors and runs several orders-of-magnitude faster than a similar contrast detect AF system. As an example, suppose an AF system can sample at 1,000 times per second and quickly react to a change of 5mm at the focal length of interest – your subject could be moving at over 10mph and the focus system will track it without issue. For contrast detect (like the X100) current top speed is around 10 times slower than that, so if there is significant movement in the subject between samples points the AF system needs to restart and you end up with hunting.
I did a bit of shooting for a client over the last couple of days using my 5Dmk2 and the 85mm f/1.2L II lens which has a slow focus, but I found that the combination of camera and lens just locked quickly without me thinking, and 95% of the shots I took were in focus (they were of fast moving children again – one on a wooden bike coming at me at some pace!) Yes, it's bigger and bulkier, but I think I'm convinced that – at the moment, at least – that's still a price worth paying.

The 1-page cheat sheet that can double your productivity today
A Simple Trick to Beat Procrastination
Have you ever found yourself procrastinating something that is really important?
I know I have. If you've ever found yourself putting off something that you know you need to get done, I want to show you my #1 trick for getting yourself unstuck and back into momentum.
You'll stop procrastinating and start taking charge of your life again.
Let's talk about the big "P" word, Procrastination. I think we sometimes procrastinate for a simpler reason than what other experts suggest.
I've heard others say that we procrastinate something because we just don't want to do something. Or there all this "negative energy around the task" or "there's not enough motivation for the task." That might be part of it.
But I found that we procrastinate not just because we have negative energy around it.
One of the simplest way to break procrastination is this: understanding that you're procrastinating because you are unclear on an action or verb-oriented task. It's not because you necessarily have all these bad energetic feelings around it; it's actually because you are unclear. There is ambiguity around the task.
To stop procrastinating and to start taking action, you need to harness the part of your brain that focuses on very specific criteria.
There's a part of the brain called the Reticular Activation System (RAS). It's the part of your brain that looks for specific criteria and get you to take action. The reason you find yourself procrastinating a task is usually because you haven't broken it down to its most specific next actions.
If you've written down a task as general and unclear as "get Project X done," your RAS will be hazy. It has to be specific. Write down a very specific first action (e.g., call Michael about the spreadsheet) and you'll increase your probability of taking action 10x.
So here's the formula to breaking procrastination: look at the task, break it down to its simplest action-oriented steps and then take action. Remember that it's not about the energetic stuff in the atmosphere, it's about being specific and getting clarity on your task so you can take action.
Let us know what you have to say:

Very dangerous. Better dont bring kids there till things are fixed.
We've been staying here from the moment they completed this housing project until today. Been over a decade I think. Ethan frequent the playground often when he was younger. It was nicer back then. These days it is not so nice anymore. Most of the equipments in the playground has fallen victims to vandalism.
Poor Ayden. He can't really enjoy the playground as much as Ethan had.
See? His head pops out from the slide like he has just hatched from it or something.
I kept telling him not to go there as it poses a certain degree of danger with the sharp edges and all but he refused to listen. He loves popping his head out like that.
I do hope they'll get this fixed soon. But I've been waiting for years and the hole just got larger everyday. Nope. I don't see anyone coming to fix it. Not in the near future anyway…
Very dangerous. Better dont bring kids there till things are fixed.
Tahan 1 more year, then it will be elections time soon, then you can write letter to the MP and ADUN to come here snap photos and "you help me, i help you"..
I think you got to call MBSJ to get it fix.
Or get NN to sponsor a new slide with submerryn.com printed on the sides.. HEhe
Do you know who to write to, to get this replaced? So dangerous for aydento pop up his head since the edges are so jagged.
Home is where MY heart is.
I am a mother to two boys; Ethan and Ayden and a wife to Darling William. I'm a stay at home mum who blogs to break the monotony of life and to avoid feeling jaded. Would love to get to know all the Super Mommies and Daddies and Babies or Singles out there with the hope that we can learn more from each other. Most of all, I am a happy person, and I hope YOU are too.

Youth Changemaker: Abigail Mariam
"Whatever local grassroots endeavor she takes on, it seems Abigail discovers an effective pathway to impact. Her extensive experience in policymaking and engagement allows her to understand the effort it takes to engage in government and how to represent those interests."
- The youth-led Campaign for a Presidential Youth Council
Abigail Mariam is a student, engaged citizen and recognized humanitarian. A rising junior at Harvard College, she is studying government, health policy, and Spanish.
Despite being just 19, Abigail serves as co-director of the mentoring component of the Boston Refugee Youth Enrichment (BRYE) program, which provides young immigrant students with academic, social and political opportunities. As a teacher with the BRYE summer program, she saw first-hand the need among immigrant students' for an introduction to American culture. She began to teach her students about the basic liberties in the First Amendment in a fun and relatable way. In doing so, she learned that a creative approach works best and that many of the problems and concerns immigrant students have can be solved by providing the right information.
In her home state of California, Abigail has worked to help parents become more engaged in local school decisions. She interned with Parent Revolution, an educational reform organization based in Los Angeles that empowers parents to be involved in personnel and academic decisions. While working there, she created opportunities to mobilize community members and provide access to parents.
"Most of my approach centered on building a 'ladder of engagement' for both parents and community groups to be involved in local education reform," she says. She helped parents and students engage in the ways that are most comfortable and realistic for them given their time, capacities and interests.
"Ms. Mariam is an empathetic leader. Her passion to work with underserved communities and build capacity within those communities is truly unmatched," says nominator (and family member) Aida Mariam. "Her commitment to grassroots, community based public policy is clear from her daily civic engagement, ranging from her peers at Harvard to the immigrant students in urban Boston. She believes that a challenging and constructive academic experience is an invaluable gateway to opportunity for students in America."
To complement her perspective of local grassroots policymaking and engagement, Abi's long-term goals are to engage with policy at the national and international levels as well, focusing on education policy and development in Africa. Having benefited from a solid educational foundation, Abigail would like to provide the opportunities she has had to other students.
Similarly, she would like to be a liaison between the U.S. and different nations in Africa to promote sustainable African development.
She is a strong advocate for youth engagement in the policymaking process. "Expressing my views on policy change is important to me because it allows me both to dispel the image of youth apathy and advocate for issues I care deeply about," she says. "The Presidential Youth Council could be a powerful conduit for young people to communicate their ideas for domestic and global policy changes."
On being awarded one of the Top 24 Under 24 Youth Changemakers, Abigail says: "I am honored, deeply humbled, and invigorated in my service ideals to create gateways for others. I hope to use this opportunity to open the door for other young people to advocate for what they believe in."
"I hope to use my visibility as a Changemaker to raise awareness around these key policy issues and mobilize young people to advocate for them," she adds.
This profile is one of the Top 24 Under 24 Youth Changemakers, a series hosted by SparkAction and the Campaign for a Presidential Youth Council to recognize young changemakers influencing policy and practice at the local, state and national levels.
The members of the youth-led Campaign chose the 24 youth who are featured in this series, from entries submitted by peers and mentors.
We're always looking for more profiles of young people making a difference, so submit one of your own!

Deeply bound diatomic molecular ions are of interest for a variety of studies, such as precision measurements, quantum control of rotational states, or quantum memory. We are particularly interested in homonuclear systems, which show promise at suppressing certain systematic effects. We present an apparatus capable of controllably leaking O$_2$, ionizing and sympathetically cooling trapped O$_2^+$, and performing state-selective photoionization. We report on progress toward initial measurements with oxygen, and discuss a proposed precision measurement of the time variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio using trapped O$_2^+$.

Spider Skies
Why are millions of Australian spiders climbing to high points and jumping?
In the Southern Tablelands region of Australia, a "ballooning" event has seen millions of spiders riding the wind and creating their own arachnid storm. For reasons that are not entirely clear, the spiders in question crawl to the highest point they can find, release strands of silk, then launch themselves into the air.
Watch similar events in the video above, along with the most likely explanation for the unusual mass event.

Strawbridge v. Curtiss Case Brief
Summary of Strawbridge v. Curtiss
Facts: P, a resident of Massachusetts, brought action against D, a resident of Vermont, and other Ds, residents of Massachusetts. Action brought in Federal Court based on diversity of citizenship.
Procedure: Lower court dismissed for lack of subject matter jrx.
Issue: Does federal court have subject matter jurisdiction when one defendant is from different state but other defendants from the same state as P?
Holding: No
Rationale: You need complete diversity in order to have subject matter jrx. Even one D who is from the same state as the P, destroys diversity.
Note: Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. Federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction over cases brought under federal laws (federal question jurisdiction) or under diversity of citizenship (complete diversity). For Diversity of Citizenship, see 28 U.S.C. 1332.

1. Target REDcardI don't know why I didn't get this sooner. I got the debit card, so whenever I use my REDcard, it comes right out of my checking account, and I automatically save 5% by using this card. I got it a couple of months ago, and I have already saved more than $25.
2. The cartwheel appThis is one that I occasionally forget about, especially if I am in a rush. But it is definitely worth it to take the time to use it. Even though the deals might seem small, it adds up, and it is so easy! If you already have an idea of what you will be buying before you go to the store, take a few minutes and look through the deals. While you are in the store, you can also scan products, and it will show you if there is a deal and recommend similar products with deals if there isn't.
3. Personalized CouponsYou know those coupons that they usually hand you with your receipt? How often do you actually use them? I can't tell you how many times I have set them on my counter with the intention to stick them in my purse by the next time I go back, and then they sit there until after they are expired. One solution is to pull them out, and find a place that you would have a better chance of remembering them. For example, you could keep them in your car so that they will always be with you on your trip to the store.
4. Pay attention to deals and how long they runSometimes I will go to the store with the intention of buying one thing, but I will decide on something else because it is on sale or they are running a promotion on it. Other times I will take a closer look at the sale tag to see how long the deal is running. If the deal will still be available next week, I might hold off and plan to take advantage of it later.
On my last trip to Target I saved $7.94 between taking advantage of sales, using the Cartwheel app and paying with my REDcard. That is almost $8 that can go to other expenses--or justifying the money I spent going out to dinner with a friend the other night. Saving money can take a little extra time, but think about how much time it takes to earn the money that you could be saving! It is definitely worth taking a few extra steps to save your cash. I promise your checking account will thank you.
How do you save money while shopping?

One of the biggest casualties of modern day life is fast and easy weight gain. Sedentary lifestyle, hardly any exercise, driving instead of walking, and eating out at restaurants are causing people to gain weight easily. When there is a problem there are bound to be people who come up with creative solutions. The earliest solution to the problem of weight gain is dieting. People, especially young women torture themselves by going on crash diets and even giving up their favorite foods just to lose weight and remain slim. Few others hit the gym and work out for hours in order to lose weight and still be able to eat what they want.
Recently doctors and nutritionists have come up with dietary solutions like high protein snacks. These are tasty, filling and most importantly healthy. Eating protein snacks such as bars, cakes, puddings, etc, is much more fun than dieting. Personally speaking these protein snacks are a great substitute for heavy lunches.
One of my favorite methods of losing weight or controlling weight gain is to consume fresh vegetables and fruits. I believe that eating one meal of raw and unprocessed foods every day will go a long way in helping us lose weight. Along with losing weight it also keep us healthy.

One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind. To live a visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable. I have only touched it, just touched it.
-Dorthea Lange-
Thanks, Nancy.
Love this image – and it speaks to your Yosemite post on the 26th. She originally drove right past the sign near a dirt road that said "Pea Pickers." She went another 20 miles, then turned around. This was the first picture she took when she arrived. She almost drove right past her most famous image. Life's full of those moments!
Thanks for your comments Linda. Life really is full of those moments, it's up to us to recognize them and make something out of them.

Artist's Bio
Chas Martin's career spans 40 years of visual communication. After studies at Pratt Institute in New York City, he spent 10 years as an art director/creative for Boston and San Francisco ad agencies. By night, beyond the reach of clients and compromises, he began painting to keep his sanity. Experiences directing still photography and video honed his sense of perception, perspective and emotion. His work is work is still concept driven.
In 1980 he pursued painting full time, averaging an oil a day for nine months. He moved on to dimensional work, exploring sculpture, collage and box art. Martin was accepted as a member and frequently showed his work through the Marin Society of Artists as well as several San Francisco area galleries.
Martin moved to Hood River, Oregon in 1981 and applied his talent to carving wood for several years. A Portland resident since 1998, he works daily from his Multnomah Village studio where he mentors others and leads workshops on a painting, sculpture and creative processes. He is a former instructor at Boston Art Institute, San Francisco Academy of Art College, Pacific Northwest College of Art, Northwest Academy and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology.
